“You have to keep in mind who he [Congressman Devin Nunes] works for. He works for the President and answers to the President.”

What I find funny about what happened to us is that we all put our kids in the same daycare - meaning, it cost the same amount of money for all of us and we all could afford it. But I didn’t show up to drop-offs or pick-ups wearing expensive clothes. And my kid didn’t wear Hanna Anderson every day. Or bring lunches…

Your nana rules.

How about an uplifting story of a man’s love for his daughter, his wife and narrowly avoiding the sex offender registry? Okay, if you insist.

A mother I knew suggested I treat my kiddos very very serious, like yearly hospitalizations now takes 3 daily medications serious asthma with unpasteurized honey. Honey. We didn’t do anymore playdates after that, I cannot abide stupid (and I doubt she vaccinated her kids). 

My Nana told me that she used to track when the other moms on her street would leave the house through the blinds and then plan her day, so she wouldn’t have to run into them anymore. The moms used to invite themselves over to my Nana’s house and then make ‘polite’ recommendations about the decor and cleanliness,…

That’s because I used to say, “I’m going over to Julie’s,” and then I walked over to Julie’s. If I were a kid right now, my mom would have to phone Julie’s mom and schedule something three weeks out, between flute and tennis, and my mom would take me the quarter of a block to Julie’s and not leave while I had a…

I had a mom scream at me in the daycare parking lot because she wasn’t watching her kids and I was (while driving) and they ran behind her car almost in front of mine. She said I was driving like a lunatic - I said you weren’t watching your kids.

Remember one of the March Madenss questions was “making friends just by saying hi”?

okay so now I need more moms’ horror stories about other parents. Please share.

I don’t remember my mom being friends with the parents of any of my friends, and it didn’t even occur to me that she should be. It’s hard enough to find friends without the added pressure of aligning social circles with your child.

Ugh - I can relate to this so much. As someone who doesn’t have a lot of friends, I was really looking forward to having a kid and making parent friends.

But daycare parents are rude as hell and NOT friendly.

I have made one friend, and we also take the train to work together. My husband always tries to initiate plans…

Seriously, that’s some insane reasoning by that guy. What’s the appropriate reason? Work, dumbass. Does he not work or have businesses interactions with women that have involved lunch or some other meal? His reasoning seems to be that unless you are going to absolutely fuck a woman, you shouldn’t sit down and eat a…

I used to see his articles posted on FB before I cut out all the racists people in my life. His articles were pure shit. Even when he was lambasting the left for infantilize women by pushing bc on us, he would write in such a patronizing and demeaning manner. He is such a fucking hypocrite. No wonder he’s a big deal…

I admire Pence for coming up with this common sense solution to a very real problem.

“take off ur cardigan... take off ur second cardigan”

Reminder that you’re preaching to the 47% here. Women also upheld slavery, discrimination of immigrants, segregation, homophobia and a couple wars. Learning the hard way your mother, sister, yoga buddy lacks basic empathy is not all that new...

We have a lot of work to do. It’s not starting shit, it’s not letting us forget about it. I didn’t vote for him but I know a hell of a lot women who did or who didn’t vote and change starts at home. I say that as someone who, at times, really feels like giving up or stepping back. It’s really hard to make a difference…

Too many women, especially women of color, have had a lifetime of practice taking precisely these kinds of indignities in stride,” Clinton said.

I will forever regret that this woman isn’t our president. If we manage to live past this decade without Trump starting a nuclear war I hope some of his voters regret that as well.
